July 4, 2010 (Independence Day)

We are really havin a lazy, lazy day today. Mamaw’s cold is really draggin her down and Poppy has his head hid in his Tiger Woods book. Good Lord, here it is 1:00 p.m. and she doesn’t even have the bed made yet!!! Talk about relaxed…

But we did go on a wonderful walk this morning. Now in addition to grabbing a “poop sack” and my bottled water, she has to soak my new scarf in cold water to help keep my body temperature down. I love the little collar—it is yellow (very complimentary to my red hair—don’t you think?) It has red fire hydrants and white bones on it. I gotta tell ya when Ozzie see’s me he’s gonna go CRAZY OVER ME. We walked our mile and the breeze was just lovely blowing on us. Mamaw had her IPod Shuffle in her ears and I was watchin the kids play in the playground area of the trail.

Getting back we are pretty hot and sweaty so I’m lyin around and Mamaw is doing her computer work. She hates to have it get late in the day and then have to do it.

Poppy went to see Miss Betty by himself late afternoon.  Mamaw just couldn't get off the bed!  She asked him to bring her back a Maid-Rite, cheese balls and a strawberry shake--what's up with that?  Well, she says when she is sick, she has cravings--can't imagine.  Okay--so our day was anything but exciting...How was yours?
